In this work, we study the behavior of a time-delayed mutually repressive auto-activating three-gene system. Delays are introduced to account for the location difference between DNA transcription that leads to production of messenger RNA and its translation that result in protein synthesis. We study the dynamics of the system using numerical simulations, computational bifurcation analysis and mathematical analysis. We find Hopf bifurcations leading to stable and unstable rotation in the system, and we study the rotational behavior as a function of cyclic mutual repression parameter asymmetry between each gene pair in the network. We focus on how rotation co-exists with a stable heteroclinic flow linking the three saddles in the system. We find that this coexistence allows for a transition between two markedly different types of rotation leading to strikingly different phenotypes. One type of rotation belongs to Hopf-induced rotation while the other type, belongs to heteroclinic cycling between three saddle nodes in the system. We discuss the evolutionary and biological implications of our findings.

Canard cascading (CC) is observed in dynamical networks with global adaptive coupling. It is a slow-fast phenomenon characterized by a recurrent sequence of fast transitions between distinct and slowly evolving quasistationary states. In this Letter, we uncover the dynamical mechanisms behind CC, using an illustrative example of globally and adaptively coupled semiconductor lasers, where CC represents sequential switching on and off the lasers.

Regime switching, the process where complex systems undergo transitions between qualitatively different dynamical states due to changes in their conditions, is a widespread phenomenon, from climate and ocean circulation, to ecosystems, power grids, and the brain. Capturing the mechanisms that give rise to isolated or sequential switching dynamics, as well as developing generic and robust methods for forecasting, detecting, and controlling them is essential for maintaining optimal performance and preventing dysfunctions or even collapses in complex systems. This Focus Issue provides new insights into regime switching, covering the recent advances in theoretical analysis harnessing the reduction approaches, as well as data-driven detection methods and non-feedback control strategies.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cell therapy has been proven to be successful against a variety of leukemias and lymphomas. This paper undertakes an analytical and numerical study of a mathematical model describing the competition of CAR T, leukemia, tumor, and B cells. Considering its significance in sustaining anti-CD19 CAR T-cell stimulation, a B-cell source term is integrated into the model.

Dynamical descriptions and modeling of natural systems have generally focused on fixed points, with saddles and saddle-based phase-space objects such as heteroclinic channels or cycles being central concepts behind the emergence of quasistable long transients. Reliable and robust transient dynamics observed for real, inherently noisy systems is, however, not met by saddle-based dynamics, as demonstrated here. Generalizing the notion of ghost states, we provide a complementary framework that does not rely on the precise knowledge or existence of (un)stable fixed points, but rather on slow directed flows organized by ghost sets in ghost channels and ghost cycles.

We present a detailed mathematical study of a truncated normal form relevant to the bifurcations observed in wake flow past axisymmetric bodies, with and without thermal stratification. We employ abstract normal form analysis to identify possible bifurcations and the corresponding bifurcation diagrams in parameter space. The bifurcations and the bifurcation diagrams are interpreted in terms of symmetry considerations.
